New MORRISSEY Single! Morrissey is set to release a greatest hits album in early 2008.
The 15-track collection, out February 4, will be proceeded by the release of brand new single 'That's How People Grow Up' on January 28. The song was produced by Jerry Finn who produced 2004's comeback LP 'You Are The Quarry', and will be backed by live versions of: 'The Last Of The Famous International Playboys', 'The Boy With The Thorn In His Side' and 'Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself'. The former Smiths singer is currently working on a new studio album with Finn, which he is planning to release in the autumn of next year. "There is no such thing in life as normal..." | |

The quarry was his greatest album.
Far too early to release a best of though. I couldn't get into the ringleader album though small circles, big wheels!
I've got a pretty firm grip on the obvious! | |

He did this song on Jonathan Ross a couple of days ago. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

I loved the version of "Sunny" as it was the first time that I'd heard it- remember the days before internet leaks!? http://www.youtube.com/wa...xWswbDPCj8 But the interview kind of made me cringe- he looked as if he didn't want to do it...nice suit though! I went to see him a while after this supporting David Bowie- that was a perfect night [Edited 2/5/08 6:38am] "There is no such thing in life as normal..." | |

He released Boy Racer and Sunny as singles at almost exactly the same time. Very odd. Great songs though. I always thought Sunny was kind of one that came in under the radar and has been almost forgotten from his catalogue. Oh yeah - Nice suit indeed! This is not an exit | |

Yeah- Sunny was on Parlophone while Boy Racer was on RCA- it was a strange time to be a fan especially after "Vauxhall and I" being hailed as his best- it was like he gave up...personal life was a nightmare apparently! Bless- I do love Maladjusted after this time and think that that also was overlooked..."Trouble Loves Me" is great. "There is no such thing in life as normal..." | |

They released Sunny (which was originally going to be the fourth song on the Boxers EP - promo copies exist with it on) and two Vauxhall & I outtakes, Black Eyed Susan (originally on promo tapes of Vauxhall (but not the CDs) and scheduled to be a third B Side on The More You Ignore Me single)and swallow on my Neck (another Vauxhall outtake). RCA released The Boy Racer in the UK to coincide with Morrissey's support slot on Bowie's Outside tour, and EMI released Sunny a week later. Both got into the lower reaches on the top 40. I don't like the new single. Dull. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

I have one more thing to add:
RELEASE "INTRODUCING MORRISSEY" ON DVD DAMNIT! For me, that is the high point of his career so far. Touring the best album (Vauxhall) with his best drummer (Spencer - f*cking superb skinsman!) and some other favourites thrown in for good measure. I want this on DVD so badly! This is not an exit | |

I don't like the new single. Dull. I loved when "The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get" went straight to number 8, then the follow up "Hold Onto Your Friends" reached only 49!!! I actually like the new single- didn't at first, but it has an optimistic quality to it that's growing on me and has to better than something like "Ruby" by Kaiser Chiefs etc. "There is no such thing in life as normal..." | |

I love when the feedback from the end of "The National Front Disco" bleeds into the beginning of "Moonriver"- sends shivers up and down my spine. I saw him play a similar set in Cambridge and touched his hand during "Now My Heart Is Full" "There is no such thing in life as normal..." | |

I know- tracks like "Wide To Receive", "Come Back To Camden" and "Dear God, Please Help Me" are so heartfelt in their delivery. But it was always there in stuff like "Well I wonder", "I Know It's Over" and "I've Changed My Plea To Guilty" "There is no such thing in life as normal..." | |

He should have released Now My Heart Is Full as a UK single. That would have been a Top 5 hit. It's such a beautiful, rousing song. Typical Moz. Hold On To Your Friends was an album track not a single. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

Although I keep on buying them, I don't like more than seven songs on the albums he's made since the underrated Southpaw Grammar. In fact, so underrated is that album, that Moz has taken to introducing the songs he occasionally plays this: "this is from an album none of you liked. It's called Boy Racer/Reader Meet Author/Teachers". There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

I agree- sitting there waiting to be released was "Now My Heart Is Full", "Billy Budd" etc, etc...no wonder it failed to chart- I like the track now, but at the time resented it's release- ha,ha,ha!
